AARP HomeFit Video: The Dining Area
Take a 'Room-by-Room Tour' of the AARP HomeFit Guide
There was a time when most meals were served and eaten at a kitchen or dining room table. Nowadays, both quick bites and full meals are often consumed on the go or at a kitchen island or in front of a television or computer. As a result, many rooms are now dining rooms.

Tip: Takeout Trays
If a meal will be eaten elsewhere in the home — in front of a TV, for instance — use lightweight serving trays to transport plates, drinks and utensils instead of carrying each item by hand. (Tip: Trays are available for attaching to a walker or wheelchair.) Another option is to use a divided dinner tray with compartments for an entrée, some sides, utensils and a beverage.
